Resentments

Nothing on earth consumes a man more completely as the passion of resentment.

~Friedrich Nietzsche

Resentments are among the greatest roadblocks along the route we travel toward a more rewarding way of life. We recognize resentments for what they are: real or imagined grievances against some people, places, and things. They give us an excuse to brood and plan revenge. Resentments come to all of us at different times. We are only hurting ourselves by holding on to them. It is a waste of time that could be spent enjoying the more positive aspects of our lives.

Our program can teach us how to respond with love, understanding, and compassion to the people, places, and things that displease us. We learn not to fight the windmills of resentment.

Today I'll remember, resentment doesn't hurt others; it only hurts me. Time wasted in getting even can never be used in getting ahead.

Today's reading is from the book Easy Does It: A Book of Daily Twelve Step Meditations*
